Book Reviews of A Superior Death (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)
Book Review: COULD THIS EVER REALLY HAPPEN?
Summary: 2 Stars
Having read some of these Anna Pigeon mysteries, this was not my favorite. The people were all just too 'messed up'. Is no one normal in the Park System? Anna herself is quite a dame. A boozer with personal problems, she turns into Superwoman! Actually, she's pretty stupid. As quoted from the book, "Anna, you've painted yourself into a corner this time." Just like in a gothic novel or a cheap horror picure, the woman goes at it alone, walks into the most transparent danger, and then escapes with a few scratches. She should be dead! And of course, friends are always just around the corner as they come to the rescue in the nick of time - oh brother! Why didn't she use her head and the technology available - or the FBI? If someone is leaving an island, there are only so many ports they are going to. Radio ahead, Anna. My greatest gripe is the way this lover of Texas takes to the Great Lakes. She dives and handles all types of water craft like a pro. She faces the storms, docks, leaps from boat to boat, hangs off the gunwalls, and does a tie-on flawlessly. Tell me that's not fantasy. I have trouble imagining how her solo boating ventures could happen without mishap. Having spent time on Superior, I can tell you that it is BIG and DANGEROUS. The author makes that point, but the characters are a little disrespectful of that fact as they boat at night, cruise in the fog, etc. In real life, no one plays around with Lady Superior and wins - not even Anna.
